I know, which is annoying because I liked the Host better. It's been really bugging me because I thought at first that the Host was the only book and I wasn't very happy with the ending, but now I know there's more, I'm still having to wait to find out how it all winds up.

To anyone who has read Hunger Games and the Host: this may seem weird but I've found that Gale and Jared are the same, just as Ian and Peeta are the same. Weird eh?

The Hunger Games (which by the way is amazing and you should run to your nearest Chapsters and buy a copy right now and read it from cover to cover in one sitting...cause its JUST AMAZING!!!!!) is an amazing story that takes places in the future and has adventure, survival and romance. In short its about the reality TV of the future where adolescents are basically selected from different sectors (sectors are the new cities...sector 1, sector 2---theres a whole corrupt government thing going on) and are dorpped into an "arena" (which could be in the middle of a jungle, or forest, etc) and basically the last one standing wins...so yeah they have to kill each other. But its hard to describe this story...really just READ IT!!!!! and then go read part 2: Catching Fire.

Okay because I have heard about that book alot and haven't been able to read it. But now i will read it. I thought it was a kids book. I am more into the Ian type and a little of Jared.

Definitely NOT kids book...
I really find that the feelings that Katniss has for Gale are so similar to the the way Wanda feels about Jared.....and the same between Peeta and Ian....the more I think about this...the more conmnections I find...very very weird.But if I compare Ian and Jared to guys from other books...like Twilight...I find Jared is more like Edward and Ian is more like Jacob....hmmmm
Really? I dunno...I group all the desperate whiny boys together: Ian, Peeta, Jacob.....LOL
Ok. me too i love Ian more but there are things that I like about Jared too.
Finished the Host last night....and I'm itching for more...I really REALLY hope she actually writes a sequel.
I wonder if the next two books will carry on with Wanda's story or if it's going to be based on someone else. Anyone know?
That's cool. Although I have to say, I'm not really used to reading about her being in that other body, it's quite hard after imagining her as Melanie for practically the whole book.
I get what you mean but now wanda would have a mind of her own
Yeah, I guess it's good that both couples can have proper relationships with each other as well now. It was quite annoying in the Host that whenever they start getting close, they have to stop because either Wanda or Melanie would pop back in and disrupt things!
Yeah, i get how you feel but it would also be interesting if the book would be the point of view of another
I suppose Wanda/Melanie's story is kinda over, I'm not really sure what else Steph could write about them. But didn't they meet that other group who had a soul who'd join them? It would be interesting to see how that came about.
That would be cool, if he finds his true love
What if The Other soul guy starts to court wanda?
God, I hope not. I think Wanda and Ian have been through enough! They deserve some happiness.
There's going to be a movie over the Host??????
They've announced that they're going to make one, but so far they haven't done anything like casting characters etc
oh my gosh, that's so annoying how movies keep using book plots to make their movies -_-.
yeah lol. cause i always find the book is more enjoyable than the movie.
They've been doing that for a long time, but it seems that ever since Twilight, they've been doing it much more. It's just cause they know a lot of the fans of the book will go and see it.
Yeah, that's true eh. After Twilight it seems there's much more movies based on books. Hmm, I guess. Still they almost always seem to ruin the book in a way by doing this, in my opinion.
I hate when they ruin a book like that. Like blood chocolate and did you hear that Beastly is being made into a movie
what's Beastly? No, I didn't hear that. ):
I don't know what Beastly is either! But aren't they making the Mortal Instruments books into films?
I haven't a clue. Are the Mortal Instruments series the ones that are called City Of Ashes, City of Bones, etc.? Or is that a completely different series lol?
Yeah, that's the series. It's pretty good, so if you haven't read it, then do it! :)
Ahh, I thought so. I haven't read them yet, but I really want to! I just need to find the time to fit them into my busy reading schedule :P
I thought the host was better than twilight
I've finally got round to re-reading it, since the last time I read it was a few years ago. I like it better than Twilight too and I'm still team Jared!
Cheer all you like, but it's still Jared for me!Although physically, I do find Ian better looking with his dark hair and blue eyes!
